Nir is probably the first artist to explore the Israel- Palestine conflict through the medium of drag and Caberet. Garbed in a gold lamme dress, he’s toured his experimental show nationally to critical acclaim. Described as a ‘theatrical hand grenade’, his show Ballad of the Burning Star, is a fiercely emotional attempt to understand the complexity of the occupation and its psychological impact on Israeli and Palestinian people. He’ll be talking about his first-hand experience of the topic and performing excerpts from the show on the night.
